Wusu is pretty solid beer. Tsintao tastes a little watered down imo

Could you kindly elaborate some more? Im not sure I follow. Is it because the people that bets on PM constitute a crowd thats not really informed on politics? I found the trump/Biden prediction to be fairly accurate and have been checking PM on and off, but would also love to hear an hexbear insight on this matter

Chinese exporters said to be ditching shipments mid-voyage to avoid crushing Trump tariffs - SCMP 2025-04-09

spoiler

A staff member at a China-listed export company, who requested anonymity, said its US-bound container volume had plummeted from 40 to 50 containers a day to just three to six as a result of the new tariffs on Chinese imports imposed by the second Trump administration.

...

With the escalating US-China tariff war already taking a heavy toll on Asian exporters, many American buyers are pulling out amid fears of soaring costs, prompting order cancellations said to be totalling as many as 300 containers a day for some manufacturers.

Facing steep new levies and an uncertain market, exporters are also scaling back operations. Factories have been reported to be cutting working hours and to have asked employees to take fewer shifts. The anonymous staff member at the China-listed firm said its US branch had begun laying off frontline workers as demand collapses.

As a nation that suffered profoundly under colonial and imperialist exploitation, I too would like to give up control over my economic narrative to foreign powers and let the World Bank operate freely and risk getting my sovereignty undermined and open venues for capitalist subversion. We all know data is neutral, amirite?

Your answer is a rhetorical device and relies on the belief that nations like the US don't have capacity to prove that China is making up their numbers and wouldnt make it public the moment they'd have proof.
